Why should you use BS EN 4120 - Nickel based self-locking bihexagonal nuts?
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability, consistent performance and durability are crucial.
BS EN 4120 provides best industry guidance on the appropriate dimensions, tolerance and mass while recommending reference standards for materials and surface treatments to be considered for nickel-based self-locking bihexagonal nuts for aerospace applications used in the aerospace industry. With the right materials and surface treatments, you can ensure that the nuts do not in any way impair the performance or efficiency of the end-application.
If you are a manufacturer of nickel-based self-locking nuts used in the aerospace industry, compliance with these requirements can ensure your products meet the performance needs of the end-application.
BS EN 4120 creates a standardized approach for manufacturers of nickel-based self-locking bihexagonal nuts to adhere to if they supply their components for use by the aerospace and defence industry.
With compliance to BS EN 4120 you can demonstrate the reliability of nickel-based self-locking bihexagonal nuts and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
